Sensorimotor integration is problematic in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Pathophysiological descriptions of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) have broadened in recent years to include recognition of widespread involvement of brain pathways in the ‘connectome’, including corpus callosum, with degenerative neuronal pathology in associated cortical areas, basal ganglia, brainstem, cerebellum and spinal cord. In general, these pathological changes are in the anterior brain and its connections, and thus in the classical motor and also in the emotionally expressive brain, including frontal lobes anterior to primary motor areas and temporal lobes.
